Wse

Wse (WebSocket Everywhere!) is a lightweight WebSocket wrapper for Node.js (v14+) and browsers that adds authentication, RPC support, multi-device messaging, and custom protocol handling. Current stable version is 4.12.3, released periodically. It integrates seamlessly with Fastify, Express, or plain HTTP servers without requiring a dedicated WebSocket port. Key differentiators: built-in RPC-like API without brokers or routers, simple auth via the 'identify' callback, and channel-based broadcasting for multi-device scenarios.
